Check out 10 of the best selfies in history

TIME BENDING: The Pixel Fairy's series of photoshop edits gives historic icons a taste for Instagram [NEWS DOG MEDIA]

Everyone is taking selfies these days — politicians, animals and now even historical figures.

This collection of past icons taking snaps of themselves is the project of a British-born artist, using the alias The Pixel Fairy, and includes famous faces such as Margaret Thatcher, John Lennon and Bruce Lee.

The image-altering artist made the series over 12 hours in Photoshop.

The main challenge was finding good pictures to alter — he found that Marilyn Monroe and JFK were the easiest to complete since they were photographed so regularly.
